Long Wheel Base Posted February 12, 2021 Share Air Namibia not having a good time . . . . :-( https://simpleflying.com/air-namibia-suspends-operations/The 3 A319s they mention in that article are here with us(V5-ANK, V5-ANL and V5-ANM). We have been working on them for a looooong time. They were in the process of being returned to the owners, they have been painted in the new colours already a while ago.

SwissVan Posted February 12, 2021 Share Swiss - that looks like it was taken outside the Air Lowveld hanger, with possibly an Air Lowveld Beech 99 in the background? Well spotted, how do you know the Air Lowveld Hangars? Yes Air Lowveld hangar, except the planes in the background are Piper Chieftains.But they did have Beech 99's as well Bonus and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the same time you were there :-) SwissVan and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted February 15, 2021 Share @LWB any idea what the story is with SAA's A340 that was supposed to go to Brussels but never seemed to leave ORTThe one meant to go fetch the vaccines? It was meant to leave Saturday Morning. ZS-SNG, I will see what I can find out, I didn't know that it never went. If it is anything like the last time we got the aircraft ready in a rush to go get vaccines and then all of a sudden emirates brings them in then I am not surprised it never went. It seems the one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. The plane was ready from our side so not sure. mazambaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted February 15, 2021 Share Driving up Sandton Drive this morning, there looks to what appears to be an old Mirage stuck onto the roof of a small building. Unfortunately, I couldn't take a photo but it didn't look like a mock-up of any sorts. I'll see if I can get a photo on my way home this evening.

The aviation skinder is going around as usual, but no one actually knows what is really happening. Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted February 15, 2021 Share That's the one. The aviation skinder is going around as usual, but no one actually knows what is really happening.Ok so I have asked around, apparently it's a pilot issue. No pilots to fly the plane, or rather non that want to.What have you heard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pilots to fly the plane, or rather non that want to.What have you heard?Haven't heard much, just the armchair pilots moaning. I wouldn't want to fly the planes either. Not due to maintenance but rather I can't afford to fly for free! Long Wheel Base, Robbie Stewart and Spokey 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
